Carbeau - Baronne & pilote #2

The second volume of Carbeau — Baronne & pilote puts its stylish protagonist front and center: a poised, dark-haired woman clutching a "Rally for the Rich" folder stands coolly as a pale-green Shelby Cobra Dragonsnake catches air on a desert stage behind her, its Auto Week-sponsored livery vivid against the dusty terrain — and a knife plunged into a Russian flag adds a sharp note of intrigue at her feet. Eric Heuvel and Noël Ummels bring a wonderfully retro European bande dessinée sensibility to the world of high-stakes motorsport, blending glamour and danger with clean, confident linework. Published by Paquet in 2023, this is a treat for anyone who loves classic cars wrapped in a dash of espionage-tinged drama.
